This is bike-shedding, but personally I like ‘requires’ more than ‘require’ because I think of variables in code as if they were third-person pronouns in English grammar. Since ‘require’ already has a meaning in Lua maybe something like ‘uses’ or ‘includes’ would be better./quote]
Personally, I'd go for includes. Reminds me of mixins
I'm not sure what to use. I would appreciate a sample class (or more than one for different usecases) for löve libraries. Personally I don't like libraries that polute the global namespace and the calls for constructor and functions should be equal among all.
It's a bit sad that löve has maintained "official" library repository. One for every LÖVE version and one for independant lua-libraries.
Everytime I need something, I have to look at several github, bitbucket and wikis and test which LÖVE version works with it. Also we there are many different licenses for each library and some are incompatible with each other. It's a pain and I really understand why people often code everything thierself.
